IJefore another number of the KxTEiii'KisE slin.ll reach our patrons the. year 1S72 will bo numbered with its predecessors. The joys anil sorrows which have been cre ated during its passage will be things of the rast. The rapid flight of these years should be a warning to us that we are fast pass ing ai;y, ajid that many who were cwVh us a, year ago are like the old year, numbered among those who are no more. Many o.f us may not be here to enjoy another Xew Year. Tet us saimprnvc our time as to leave pleasant and profitable recollections of us to those who ray come after us. To our patrons an4 fiic.uds we wish a happy Xew Year, and may they be blessed the corning year- with the righest C;f lieaven-. ftif'.. tftr-at I-irc at Portland. Last Sunday morning at a littie jyist 0 o'clock, the most destuctive lire which has ever been in this 0 State, occured at Portland. It broke out in a China washhouse. c,n the corner of Morrison and Vront streets,!0! before it could be placed under con t vol, throe blocks from Morrison to Washington streets on the river front, and one "block, with the exception of one biick'building, on the opposite side, which embraced the tine bricks of C. 31. Carter, "and the one occupied bygS. J. McCormick. The total loss "sustained by this calamity is estimated at over half ft million of dollars, a list of which ;e j"viUxisU elsewhere. It was Vhought at quo time that the entire business portion of the city would be destroyed. JThc Chief Engineer of that city telegraphed to this lace, Salenf, Albany and Van vouver, f assistance. Xo sooner was this app.eal madeThan prepar ations wrc co.ru uu-need to go to their relief. The Fire LVprvrt merit from this city id the E. X. Cooke Jvci at their service, and at one o'clock about tifty members of tliC lire companies, with their appara tus, and many citizens, were on their way to the scene of action. The' arrived there at a little past wo o'clock, and were immediately placed on duty by the Chief En gineer, and did good and effective service. At 4 o'clock they returned, there beng r,o. further use for them. Ke S.)ev and Albany companies arrived on. the 4 o vlcek tr&in, and did goc-d. avvvU-a. u taking the ylaees of. tU-'.V yornout comrades u.ntil the fire fiend was cxtinguish i?d. We are assured that the citi zens of our neighboring city feel grateful to the various lire depart ments ior the prompt manner they answcied their call for aidp A card from Irtyor Washerman in archer juivt of this issue, will tes tify to this fact. The only wonder is, that the destruction was not greater than it is. To the great exertions of the firemen is due this result. They worked nobly, ami vve can truthfully state that Port land has a tire department second to none in the United States. v-' A Qiteek Lettek. The follow ing letter is published in the C1 cityvUi Cv'c?cia!. Grant refu fv to accept the resignation of the tpecial agent, and insinuates, very strongly that his sire is no longer lit to occupy the position of post master at Covington. A sensible conclusion. Here is the letter: EXKCTTIVK MANSION. Washington Cirv. Sept. 4. 1872. Mt Dear Mr. Eastox: Your letter re ceived inclosing your resignation as spe cial agent in charge of the Covington y.ost-oilice, wiih tho reasons therefor, i v.g youtOj suspend action in the matter for i.e present. I regret very much that Uiy father lold atteiipt to interfere in jour 'management, of the office. I shall write him at once to tesisVind send me is resignation, as I ar satisfied lie never vill again be competent to discharge the L 4 u ties of the office. Very truly voi.r friend. V. S. QUANT.

The recent fire at Portland de stroyed the entire establishment of Mr. A. G. Walling IJook and Job Printer. Mr. W, will receive the symrathies of tlie intr irnoro1. lv in this a-i - V J. - . The .Senate IJacksliilins: on the i,ut-s-tioii of Ilevcnuc Kcforin. q The Washinton correspondent of the Xew York Jlei'olit, under da to of the 12th inst.,?ays "the Sen.it ea after having devoted three days to flic consideration of the billion its calendar, laid it aside this after noon to rescue the internal revenue office-holders, who rendered such good service in the recent 1 resi dential campaign. In June last beforejhe election, be it rt member-, ed, Congress virtuously squelched nearly al the items o.f internal revenue except spirits, beer and to bacco, ?,nd heroically vuted hat the Commissioner must4 oh or be fore the first day of January next, reduce the whole number of collec tion districts to SO and discharge every assessor, .now tins was an very well for electioneering pur poses, but the legion of office-hold ers of high anil oy degree who carried torches and were attired as tanners and paid printing bills dur- i ig the campaign rvere naturally anxious, after their victory, that their j occupation should not be gone. So they impressed upon their representatives whose election they had secured that another bill must be crotten up, that would eep several hundred more of them in their places ftnd such W one went through the House on Friday, ast and through the Senate to-day. It does not reduce the number of collection district; it dues not dis pense with the services of a single collector; amraltl?ough it provides for the discharge of the Assessors, it authorizes the appointment of twenty-tive new revenue agents, which places will be criven to the most active politicians among the presenCassessors. The Trial Cj of O Th.; trial of L. D. .Miller Tor the filling of Clieioke du:ilh at Eocene Litv, lasi August, sayd ll;; Qilktiu, was receir.ly concluded'' iu the County Circuit Court, alter c.ne. ot the niust L'irdfo.ight eoiitests thai ever tr.msp.red in the Com Is ,.f(l.....

It is as lixed and certain a decree as ihuiigh "u were written in the statues of I lie land. Il seems thai Miller is a laboring man. aud his wite the possessor of uomaniiojd a fair fa.ee and dizzy head. It was proven on the trial that .S.nilh hud ex changed hankerchief signals with her as various times, and that site had borrowed of a neighbor s daughter a code of laws relating to that mysterious telegraphy, in order tj inlorui herself more fully of their uses and import. Smith tiually obtained an interview, and it is supposed jhal her dishonor was cUccted. U 1 be defense set up the plea of emotion al insanity." aud showed that Miller was gloomy, morose and abstracted lor several days previous tu the killing. That, we think, is a legal subterfuge tiiineess.iry iu a case of that kind. American juries will not convict a man who seeks in tin blood oT his wile's seducer to blot out the stain of his dishonor. The counsel on both sides were men of high standing at the bar. Mr. Copies aided the prosecu tion, and is said to have made a briiiiant and masterJ argument. This is the urst triul of the kind, we believe, that has oc cured in Oregon, and its result will be a terrible warninj to social beasts of prey like Cheroke Smith. Deserved Compliment. The La Grande Sentinel of the 11th ins;.. r t pays" the following deserved Compliment to Hon II. II.

This was Mr. (iillry's first vi-it. to Fistern Oegon in an official capacity, and we have every reason lo ihinK that noth ing ticjj;rred whie he was here to cause a single regret that his business detained him so long in our midst.

How we'd Mr. Gilfij performed his duties while Here may not generally be known, but that two weeks was occupied is evidence that it was thorough and complete. The results ar rived at will be found in another CeU;mn over his own signalnie. Srcniocs- ArciDKNT.
